Exchange Chambers 'Lisa is pragmatic, intelligent, and always calm and considered. She is able to provide commercial solutions to problems.'
At Exchange Chambers, the team reports an uptick in insolvency work, which forms a key pillar of Lisa Linklater KC’s practice. Linklater KC, who is well known for her expertise in handling complex insolvency litigation, acted for the joint liquidators in Re Torotrak plc (in liquidation), involving issues of proportionality, fairness and the restrictive wording of s107 of the Insolvency Act 1986 in relation to making distributions to members. Steven Fennell has a solid track record in representing defendants and claimants in, among other areas, cases involving breaches of directors’ duties, and Eleanor d’Arcy is ‘a brilliant advocate’ with established strength in handling a wide range of contentious insolvency matters and shareholder disputes, including unfair prejudice claims.
